Einfach ein Premium Produkt. habe auch andere Leine gehabt (von andere Hersteller) aber die Qualitt dieses Produktes ist einfach nicht zu toppen. Sehr gute Verarbeitung und Premium Materialien. ich empfehle dieses Produkt ohne wenn und aber. Die Griffe sind auch fr mich angenehm und sehr hochwertig. Mein Hund ist auch zufrieden und sehr begeistert von die Freiheit diese Leine zu bieten hat. Die Hacken sind sehr hochwertig und bieten viele Mglichkeiten fr Wasserflasche und Beutelspender zu befestigen. Ist ein super Produkt fr Laufen, fr Spazierengehen fr Fahrradfahren und vieles mehr. Ich habe wirklich keine Nachteile oder Mengel zu erwhnen.
Mein Hund und ich, wir bedanken uns Sparklypets fr diese tolle Produkt.
got this because there have been dog napping incidents around. ppl attempting to attack a person and take their dog. feels safer with a waist leash. he pulled me up a steep trail with this today. very sturdy and well made. all the buckles are metal.
I have a boxer that loves to pull, my arm used to take a beating on walks, not with this device, strap it around my waist and away i go. It is a help on hills now i get pulled up the hill from my waist not my arm/shoulder.
It is strong, well made, arrived fast, and reasonable price.
My dogs are 9months they’re german husky mix and weights 70pounds each, I bought this cause I have a severe ankle injury and its hard to walk my dogs cause they pull so hard, I tried everything even choke collars and my dogs would keep pulling even tho they’re choking themselves, I really like this product cause it makes it a little easier to control them but unfortunately they’re dummys when it comes to leashs they managed to get themselves tangled along with me and it was a bit easuer for them to pull me around even when im trying to go in the oppisite direction but ! Having the extra hand grips does make the job much easier ! I would say tho If your dogs is anything like mines but this and if you can hold your ground even when they than this will be perfect for you.
This leash is easily the best I’ve ever purchased that is not an extendable leash. This leash keeps your dog at a good distance, there is a handle on the front closest to your dogs body to grab onto if they lunge. The material in general makes the entire leash easier to hold as it will not slip in your hand. The elastic component of this leash makes it my favourite by far wether a dog is a slow poke or puller or a lunger because this stretches it gives your dog a chance to do these things but it doesn’t stretch far causing your dog to be forced back to you without pulling (like an elastic). Great for running with a well trained dog or for training purposes.
Highly recommend this leash as a starter or a trainer and building up to an extendable leash. Game changer!
I’ve this this for a month now! It’s pretty great. It hasn’t frayed at all. I still have concerns about the elastic within the band suddenly snapping, but so far it’s held up really well. There is one downside though – originally when I bought this, there were 2 rings on the belt that, when I attached the leash part, my dog was able to move side to side. Within a month one of the rings got all caught up in the rope and I haven’t been able to put it back to it’s original “place”, which now means my dog can only move side to side in front of me, instead of my pup being able to move almost 360 degrees around me. I’m removing a star for that, but I do recommend this product if you’re looking for a waist leash.
Original Review: I’ve had it for about 3 days now. It’s served it’s purpose, though I am concerned about the elastic within the band snapping suddenly when my dog decides to bolt after birds/squirrels. The extra handles are superb and really great for rearing in my labsky while we cross the street. It’s got a couple of different places where you can attach the band – we use the one that moves freely along the waist so she can switch from side to side whenever she wants.
I do love the product however I wish the lower handle closest to the dog was just an in or so higher. If you were attaching it to a collar and grabbing the lowest handle it would be too short for them. It works perfect for my Mastiff/Lab cross with her no pull halter as that has a short line attached making it the perfect length.
It’s perfect for what it is – absorbs shock so it saves my shoulders & arms on walks. Long enough but short enough has well – I really like it – no downside. It’s reflective as well & can be use as a regular leash – also has a handle on each end for better control
I was prepared to return this as several reviews suggested the elastic doesnt hold up. Maybe you shouldn’t walk bears and 100lb beasts. Works great for my 60 pound pup, including when lunging at squirrels and pulling me off my feet. While it’s great for jogging, it’s also my every day leash so I can keep my hands free for managing toddler and/or coffee.
I bought this for my husky who was a working sled dog for 1 years. It works great and the bungee cord is helpful for him pulling me. It helps that his running harness is attached by a bungee attachment as well for when he sees squirrels and rabbits he runs in any direction pretty quick and jerks me. Happy with this product and that it has two handles one with Velcro so that I can use it as a leash too.
I got this in the winter because I wanted a way to keep my hands warm in my pockets. Works well for that and has stood up to some time being used as a leash and a tie out for outside when needed. The elastic has held up and being he is a big 80lb dog I was worried it would snap. The only think I wish is that they would offer the leash to be longer and the handle at the bottom have as easy grip handle like the one at the top. It is impossible to get your hand in there if the dog is pulling. Otherwise great product and I recommend it.
This leash is of the utmost quality, and it looks really nice. I like that there is more than one place to hook my dog. I like the reflective details. I have a couple of small issues…1) I am a smaller woman with a 27″ waist. With the minimum leash length of 28″ at the waist, I thought it would be perfect as I like to wear it low, and I like it to be able to move and not be tight. However, I find it is just a bit too big. If you are small, this may not work for you. 2) The leash is a bit on the long side. It is longer than the one I used to have, and this has been a little bit of a problem as my dog will get a bit tangled, and I am worried about tripping. It would be better if it was a few inches shorter.
I bought this hands-free bungee leash to replace a different hands-free leash that ended up breaking after a few too many outbursts by my reactive dog (the waist belt clasp (a plastic side-release clasp) snapped which made the whole thing useless.)
I was very happy to see this leash uses a different design for the waist belt which would make it less likely for my dog to break the clasp (which is the same style). This belt is designed to distribute any force away from the clasp itself. So if my dog is lunging at the end of the leash, the force is distributed to the fabric of the belt and the metal loops that border the clasp, not the plastic clasp.
As for the bungee portion, I’m not the biggest fan for my average neighbourhood walk due to my dog being prone to having outbursts when he sees other dogs, squirrels, etc. The bungee seems to make it easier for him to lunge and less easy for me to brace and redirect him. My solution was to combine this waist belt with the leash from my broken one (that doesn’t bungee).
That said, I’m looking forward to using the bungee leash for our runs when the weather warms up! That’s an activity where it makes sense to have a little give in the leash. 🙂
I have two golden retrievers who are females at about 60 and 65 pounds. Both have been through a good amount of training. We hike and jog a lot with both dogs (my boyfriend and I). Sometimes only one person will take both dogs, and I love that I can detach the leash portion and attach both leashes to the waist portion on either set.
I’ve had a few waist leashes before, but this one is set apart to me because I wear the “pocket” on my back. It has a bit of cushioning on the layer of fabric that touches your body when you wear the waist leash properly, so when my dogs do get excited and pull, the strap doesn’t dig in to my body. I love that.
The two handles and stretchy leash are great. The clasps/attachment rings seem to be high-quality.
I could probably do with a slightly roomier pocket since I can barely squeeze my iPhone 12 Pro into it, but it does technically fit.
Overall, great product! I’ve had it for a couple of months and it has been durable and very useful so far.
The leash has a sort of soft plastic piece at the end you can hold if you want.
It’s gets rock hard in the winter and the edges are sharp enough it hurts when you get jabbed by it.
I would suggest a padded fabric piece for hand comfort.
I have cut it off of mine.
Other wise, I love it!
Easy to use. Love the handle options and the stretch of the leash. Good quality!
I have never tried a hands- free leash before, so when I was asked to try and rate this one (in exchange for a gift card) I decided to do it. I actually really like it. (I am also surprised that these people asked me to rate something else since my last review of one of their products was not positive.)
Pros:
The hands free aspect let’s you stand tall and swing your arms while walking which is really nice
The leash looks and feels very sturdy
It has a loop clasp to attach the leash in both back and front (see pictures)
There is an extra loop for hooking on a roll of poop bags or possibly a wallet/phone
The bungee feature is nice and absorbs small amounts of pulling
There is a handhold loop for if you need to hold your dog closer
It comes in a nice storage bag
Cons:
The waist loop only gets as small as about a size 8 in women’s. It would be nice if it went a little bit smaller.
Overall I would recommend this product, and I plan to use it a lot on my daily walks. It may be one of those things I never knew I needed, but now I’m glad I have it 🙂
I got this leash for going on runs with my dog (Husky/Shepard/Canadian Eskimo mix), but unfortunately it doesn’t quite absorbs his pull as i thought it would. He is pretty strong so ill give him that. I would love to know if you have a normal runners leash with good clips.
I run with my lab every other day for one hour minimum. I’d originally assumed that the belt should not be loose enough to move around; however I understand now that would be almost impossible to create. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this leash. It’s great that the clip does NOT slide around, as I need my dog to stay on my left side only while we run. Bungee action is perfect. Reflective fabric works great. Very sturdy and well made leash! And they’re a fantastic company to deal with.
This leash belt is great for handsfree walking and running with our dog. The bungee cord does absorb the pull when he stops on walks/runs. Not sure how long the clasps to the dogs collar will last, they do not seem the most sturdy. Time will tell. In summary still a good price at $20 for a hands free leash.
My husband is an avid runner and likes to take our border collie for runs with him. He always finds it very cumbersome to hold the leash in his hand while running. My daughter and I thought this would be the perfect gift for him — and we were right! He absolutely loves this hands-free dog leash. I feel it’s a great product, especially for the price.
C’est vraiment un outil fantastique. Par contre c’est assez lourd donc vraiment conu pour les gros chiens. Je trouvais l’lastique trs rigide mais finalement a fonctionne trs bien.
Idal pour les promenades. Les mains libres en tout temps et chien heureux.
I have two very active small dogs of 8-10 pounds and I was afraid this would be too heavy or big for them. Since getting it, it has made our walks so much more enjoyable and simple. One of my fogs pulls A LOT even for his size and i all over the place when walking. With a leash it is very difficult not to get tripped or tugged. This makes him more focused and when he pulls the elastic brings him bag gently to where he should be walking. Our walks are usually in the woods so the hike is pretty intense. It is strong, sturdy and of good quality. I can’t comment for bigger stronger dogs, but I would think the double metal clip would be very good. For extra protection I used to loop the leash and then clip it on.
I highly recommend this.
If I had one complaint, it would be that the stretch could be a little longer. Honestly, though, after a few days my dog is getting the hang of running with it (we’ve always run off-leash before) and seems to be finding the right distance naturally.
The leash is nice, good reflection and metal clasps seem good quality. When you are just using the leash and create the handle, it is not ergonomic, the “padded” part doesn’t line up with where the middle of your palm would be. You end up having the metal clasp rubbing the back of you hand and the handle area is half way in your hand.
So good idea but not a thought out design. Good enough though to walk the dog on short walks.
De bonne qualit. la longueur est parfaite et le matriel est robuste. Je fais du jogging avec mon chien, je l’attache avec cette laisse un harnais de cani-cross. acheter!!!
I really like this hands-free leash! We have a young Australian Shepherd and she still pulls a bit on leash. Using this running/hands-free leash, I can save my hands and wrists and still keep her close. There’s a reinforced handle end and a slimmer handle near her harness or collar, for you to use when crossing the street or near other dogs (I may have it hooked up backwards in this photo!). Very happy with this purchase.
I bought this about four months ago and I have been very impressed. I used the leash for many different reasons. I used it to go camping, walking/running, kayaking and paddle boating. At one of the camp ground I went I had to tie my dog around a picnic table since there were no trees. Going for a walk with my hands free was a nice experience. It felt freeing and reassuring. Also kayaking kept my dog safe and my hands free. I am using this to its fullest and when it’ll be used up and no longer good, I will purchase a new one for sure. The only thing I’d advice before buying is make sure your dog is good on the leash. Since it has a spring to it, pulling a dog in training would make it that there is little to no control depending on the dog.
I used this hands-free leash for stroller walks. I found it very convenient and I liked that it could be detached and used as a normal leash. Additionally, the hand loop was convenient if I needed more strength & sturdiness. Length is good and there is a bit of stretch if your dog pulls.
J’ai achet cette laisse comme premire laisse de traction pour mon chiot de 5 mois. Je l’ai utilise lors d’une randonne et je l’ai adore. La partie lastique fait que la traction est moins raide. Le produit est d’une excellente qualit! La seule chose est que j’aurais aim que la poigne soit plus confortable: j’ai fait la randonne lors d’une journe trs occupe la montagne et je devais souvent retenir mon chien, j’ai eu mal la main la fin de la journe car la poigne n’est pas bien faite pour tre utilise plus que quelques instants.
Perfect for Medium and large dog they say but….the belt I think it was made large too.
In the description there’s no information about the size of the belt. Yes, it’s adjustable but not to mi size ( my weist about 80cm/31inc) and still too large for me.
I managed someting to make it to my size and still working very nicely. Just very disapointted that at that prize it didint fit me.
Very sturdy and it has a stretch to it so there isn’t a strong jerking motion from a pulling action from your furry kids
Would definitely recommed
I ordered this with the expectation that it would take quite a few days to arrived and it actually arrived much quicker. The harness straps are very tough and the hip harness is comfortable and very sturdy. It is adjustable to fit your size and has a motion design clip to allow lateral/parallel movement of your dog while you run. This is great because sometimes my dog will start to tire and this allows her to fall back a little. She’ll often get a second wins and catch up with me so the motion clip ring allows for the leash two some movements slide back and forth on the hip. The leash itself is extremely durable but also has some elastic flexibility to allow some give and absorb the force of any sudden pulling from your dog. There are multiple rings to low for you to clip other attachments to. There are no pockets for a phone or anything to hold a water bottle so be aware of this if you’re interested in taking those with you on your run.
I haven’t had any issues and the harness is perfect for what I need. Running with my dog is so easy ahile wearing this and if you have a dog that likes to run around you from behind or in front, the hip strap easily turns around your waist to account for that.
The leash easily clips and unclip for quick transition from running to walking.
If you’re looking for a robust and simple design but comfortable and tough, I highly recommend this item!
Fantastic product! It came earlier then I expected it to, my dog can be a bit of a puller at times and with the bungy you it works great while still feeling in control. Great for running with the longer leash at well as walking beside with the shorter handle.
We love that leash easy to adjust for my waist or my wife waist . We are very active going for long walks and hikes with our dog , this handsfree leash is well made , the facts it is made like a bungee it absorbs the shock when our dog wants to take off to chase a rabbit , a squirrel or a birds . Highly recommended . Because we can’t adjust it small enough for my kids they use it as a regular leash by removing it from the waist part .
I love this leash for my dog, she constantly pulls my arms when I walk her but having this around your waist and the extra bungy in the leash helps amazingly with that. This is also great because it can be used as a regular leash if you don’t want it around your waist!
Very happy with the purchase. The material used is of good quality. I am hoping it will last longer.
This is an amazing leash! I bought it because I had surgery and couldn’t hold the leash but now it’s the default leash because of how comfortable it is to walk handsfree!
Great hands free leash! Very good quality and does what it’s supposed to do! I love the handle near the end which helps me control my dog if she needs more attention whem approaching other dogs or crossing thr street.
I bought it so I can take my dog out when I go out with my baby stroller and couldn’t be happier! Both my girls now get to go outside and this mama is so happy
The product is great! I love that it quickly turns into a leash from the waist. I like the retractable part, I gives our dog some stretch and will bring him back reminding him not to pull. It allows me to walk my other dog which I need both hands for… (he’s still learning his manners).
So far it seems like a great leash. We have a year and a half old, 80 pound Shepherd Husky cross so the shock absorption is awesome. It lets him have some freedom with a bit of a reminder before he pulls too hard. I really like the double clip as a backup in case the clasp were to let go for any reason. It is easily converted to use hands on and has a traffic handle nice and close to the collar for control. The only thing I would change is to have a padded handle top and bottom as I think it would be a bit more comfortable when using it hands on.
No regrets…i’ll start with the facts and end with my personal opinion 🙂
– Delivery: Arrived on-time exactly as described.
– Materials: Sturdy and well put together.
– Item description: Matches perfectly.
I’ve used it about 10 times so far, and it does make running with my dog easier. He is not a massive puller but he does get easily distracted and this has been a great way for me to control him while also giving me some freedom. The biggest challenge with using this is nothing to do with the product its-self but between you and your dog and learning how to use it between you.
If I had one “issue” it would be that it doesn’t seem to “switch sides” very easily, but that could just be me getting used to it and I don’t think detracts from the usefulness or quality of it.
Highly recommended! Although my dog is not a puller it’s quite strong, and I can imagine if you do have a puller it’s going to be able to deal with it.
Received product quickly. As described. Sturdy and works well for our 70lb dog. He’s able to pull beyond the stretch but handles make it easy to manage him when this happens. Unsure how long hoop closures will hold up. Otherwise pleased with this purchase.
Bought this to run with my 90lb Dane mix and it works like a charm. She can still pull if she gets distracted but there is a good amount of give with the bungee so I don’t get dragged around. Easily adjusts and barely noticeable while running. Really enjoying this leash!
Wish the line a little shorter or have an option to make it half the length. I used it to train my dog walking off leash heeling by my side.
We love this leash! We are trying to reduce the amount our puppy pulls when we go on walks and this leash does just that! You can be hands free most of the time & ease the pain on your hands casually caused by a standard leash. My husband loves that our puppy’s pulling has been reduced so much! Looking forward to trying it camping in the future. Great buy, a dog owner must!
It’s a very sturdy and heave duty leash. I think an extra 6 inches would have been nice and maybe the opportunity to lengthen or shorten the leash. We have a smaller dog tho so people with larger breeds may not feel the need for this.
I would buy this again 🙂
This makes jogging with my dog so easy. Even out for a walk, I have two arms free, I can’t tell you enough how great that is.
The leash has amazing stretch, and it will not jolt you if the dog runs ahead.
I got pink, because it goes with all our other accessories. Well made, sturdy, and very comfortable.
I wouldn’t recommend if you have a very large dog that pulls and drags you when you go out for a walk. My dog is 55 lbs, very VERY strong, and this works much better than a harness. This product makes things easier, more enjoyable and my dog loves it.
It works really good and well made. It strong enough for our staffordshire bull terrier. I also like it has a hand hole too. My other hands free doesn’t have this feature.
Je dois avouer tre agrablement surpris. Belle qualit. Solide. avec des attaches et anneaux en mtal.
Je le recommande. De plus, la boutique m’a crit pour savoir si j’avais apprci mon exprience avec eux et valider avec moi ma satisfaction quant au produit achet. Vraiment wow !
Works great I’m glad to have the tension off my arm while walking. I have a 100+lb rotti /German sheppard mix who likes to pull. I can tell he can feel the tension before he goes too far.
We’re still working on the running. When he gets excited I can feel the tension on my waist pulling me forward so i usually just stop so he can cailm down before i fall forward.
The handle offers good control, I like the rubber grip. I do wish they had made it a bit thicker. It being flat makes me have to squeeze it harder when trying to prevent the tension from getting to my waist.
Overall I like it and this has changed our walks/runs for the better.
Its a nice leash…the bungee part allows her to walk ahead but still keeps her close which i like…the hands free is great…the only little bummer is the handle when you want hands on…it doesnt feel comfortable in my hand to hold…love the colo
I love this lead for my dog. It’s been great to go hands free on our walks. I will definitely buy again. It’s also very well made and the added colour choice is such a pretty bonus.
Very happy with this item so far standing up to 75 pound puppy and 50 pound dog very well.
Tres bon harnais, attache a la taille merveilleux pour la marche. On ne s arrache pas les bras et le chien est tres a l aises pour marcher. Un bon entrainement pour habituer le chien a marcher au pas. J adore. Mercci
We really like this leash. We’ve used it for puppy training as opposed to running at this time. It has helped a lot with getting a new puppy to walk on leash and follow direction.
It was almost immediately that our puppy got the hang of being on leash and now walks without pulling in other directions.
When jogging the unit allows for some play in the right left movement on the belt or you can secure using the two anchor points together to keep your pup in a fixed position.
The band and fabric quality are great, no concerns that anything will split or tear. Overall this is a great product. Would recommend and would buy again if I need a second, I highly doubt I’ll need to buy a replacement due to failure.
A must buy! Has really helped with puppy training. My pup used to pull and nip at his old leash, with this it all stopped. The bungee works awesome to still give freedom, but you are still in control. The handles provide more of safety feeling, as it is gives a more in control feeling to both owner and the public.
I like how it comes in 2 separate parts. Very versatile and sturdy. The metal pieces seem solid and stable. Good quality
Got this product for my wife – she’s a runner. We adopted a 6 month old, 20lb street dog rescue. My wife intends on teaching the dog how to run along side of her. Right now, I’m using it the most because the dog has bonded more with my wife than with me. The dog has always been fearful of men and with me being 6’5″ – I’m no exception. So I umbilical chord the dog to me using this product. This has helped the dog gain some trust with me as she then has no choice but to follow me around the house, and in the yard & wherever I go.
The strap around the waist is great. My wife is petite (120lbs and 5ft.3 dress size 2) and I’m 235lbs, size 38 waist. The adjustability makes it that both of us can wear it after adjusting it to our size.
The clips around the waistband is also well designed. There’s peace of mind that even if the clasps that attach around your waist might break – they won’t so long as you’ve hooked the leash properly through the two D rings, the dog won’t be able to escape.
The bungee inside the leash is also really good. We can’t speak for large breed dogs but for our little 20lb rescue who loves to lunge at squirrels – it’s a great option that makes it that she doesn’t choke herself or pull my wife down.
The additional D ring on the waist band is also good for attaching the poopbag dispenser.
It’s a solid product as far as we’re concerned. Really well priced given what’s available out there.
We highly recommend it.
Oh; my wife has reported that she did try running with the dog but the dog gets very excited, jumps around and wants to sprint ahead. Luckily for the bungee, and the waistband attachment – my wife was able to keep everything under control without the dog controlling her. She said that with a bit more training- puppers will make a great running buddy.
Have had this leash for a few weeks now and is working out ok. I do wish that the handle was padded and put more towards the middle of the leash so it is easier to grab but still gives your dog space to walk beside you when you have to share the sidewalk with other people and dogs . Overall the leash seems to be working out for my 36 pound dog who walks nicely on the leash 99% of the time. I would not suggest this for dogs over 50 lbs that pull (from experience a week or two ago with my parents 8 month old lab puppy).
I’ve been using this ever since we purchased it. It allows for peace of mind knowing your dog is safely attached to your waist. Super great quality ! We’ve been walking our Siberian husky with this for well over a year and a half; it looks brand new. The material hasn’t worn in any areas whatsoever. Has a great bungee leash, lots of clips for attachments, safe double ring, high quality handle.
This leash is perfect for me. I have a baby and before I bought this hands free leash I couldn’t go for walks with my dog and push the stroller at the same time. Now I can do that with ease! Also my dog use to pull a lot and was all over the place with our other leads and with this one he walks perfectly beside me. The quality of this leash is great. The clips are metal so I am not worried of them breaking if he pulls to hard. Overall I am happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it.
My husband uses a few times going on a bike ride with our 50lb dog, who likes to pull a lot. It works great, and have some tug/bounce due to its stretchy part. And it fits great around his big tummy. He will definitely will go on more bike ride this summer with our dog.
I’ve got a 95lb doberman that likes to pull me when we run together. This is PERFECT. The clasps are Welle forced, so I’m not concerned about him breaking them. One of the hoops rotates along the belt so he can run in the grass or go to a tree without pulling me in that direction with him.
Exactly what I need – would purchase again.
Really loving this so far! Great quality and I LOVE how the leash is able to freely slide around on the waistband so that if your dog changes sides that he’s walking on, the leash will move to that side of your waist!!
So great to have hands free!
I love this hands free leash! I have two babies so when I’m pushing them in a stroller it’s so nice to have my dog come along using this leash! It feels like it’s made really well. I have a large Samoyed and it’s great for him.
I didn’t read very carefully as this is meant for medium to large dogs so it’s too heavy for my little 7.5 pound dog, but I can see it being perfect for those larger dogs for sure. We love the hands free feature.
I have a 9 year old labradane (labrador/Great Dane) mix. She’s usually chill most of the time, but she’s use to pulling cause I made her my “sled dog” by pulling me on the bike when she was younger.
I want to run with my pup, but I like my arms free so having this leash is great. The best feature is the bungee portion. My dog is great, but SUCKS when she sees a squirrel. She just lunges. I’ve worn it already a couple of times when she’s seen one, and I’ve actually had no issues of holding her back and it doesn’t hurt (as bad).
Another great feature is one of the latches attached to the belt is free and goes around. My dog sometimes circles around me, so it’s great cause the belt stays in place while the ring moves around.
My only qualm is the belt. After wearing it for like 5-6 miles with my dog, my back starts to hurt so I find myself readjusting the belt lower multiple times so my lumbar area doesn’t get agitated. It would be great if it had some cushion feature but that would get in the way of the “free” latch. So give and take.
All in all, good product for people who want to run with their dog. It allows you to maintain your typical gait pattern (I’m a rehab therapist).
I like to go hiking with my dogs, but I have a 55 lbs dog that likes to stop frequently to smell everything. Normally I encourage this except when we are going up/down a hill. I started looking for bungee type leashes and came across this. WORKS GREAT!
I bought this specifically because it has two metal clasps in the front so you can clip the leash to both clasps. One of my dogs doesn’t like unknown dogs, so I am overly cautious to ensure that all products I buy have extra safety measures. Some reviewers reported issues with the belt becoming loose & falling down. I did not have this problem. We have hiked several times for up to 5 hours with him going every which way to smell stuff & it did not come loose. (Maybe because I have hips?)
I only gave 3 stars for versatility, but that has nothing to do with the product. It has more to do with my personal preference. I did try using this on a “standard” walk, but walking at my side with a very loose leash is still a “work in progress”. I like my dogs to stay within 2′-3′ of me at all times, this gave him too much freedom. For someone who’s dog is better behaved, this would work for a normal walk.
We’ve only used this a handful of times, but it seems very sturdy. I am curious on how long the bungee will hold up with him keeping it taunt for long periods. Also, our hikes are in winter with decent snow, I wonder if getting wet then drying repeatedly will compromise the performance. I will update this review if I discover that it does.
Great hands free leash! Comfortably secures around body and durable.
Great for a nice long hike!
he material is sturdy overall. the design is versatile enough for multiple ways of using it.
the Belt buckle is not tight or strong enough to hold tight. it was getting released multiple times even my dog is not considered big dog.
Gifted to my sister in law and she loves it. Uses it on her 80lb dog and has had no issues.
Great for a hands free walk with your dog. My 80lb Staffy loves to pull and doesn’t with this leash. Best leash out there!
Product arrived very quickly. The leash seems like a quality leash. The elastic is very tight and exactly what we were looking for. We have 2 english bulldogs and my wife loves to use this leash when we walk out dogs.
We recommend this leash
Love with leash, good handholds near the attachment points as well which is nice to hold the dog close when crossing the road or passing someone on trail.
My puppy is little right now and I haven’t used it yet. But it’s really well made. And I love the design of it…….I don’t have to worry about the latch on the waist band coming undone, very smart! Wish I had this with my other two dogs
Exactly what I was looking for. Very durable and the leash is a comfortable length.
Buying this i was worried it was not going to be comfortable around the waist holding a pitbull but wow. The bungee cord leash is key in controlling a dog that likes to pull while running and really helps to focus on your jog or run with your dog.
Would definitely recommend for anyone who likes to jog with there dog
I use it for biking with my energetic heeler. It’s perfect. I got a coupler so I’m able to use my dogs no pull harnesses.
A wonderful leash. I have a very large goofy lab puppy who has taken to barking like an idiot at our guests. This leash allows me to open the door , greet my guests nd maintain control over my goofy boy. It is well made with heavy hardware and sturdy straps.
Really like this leash for the times that you need both hands free. Only used it twice so far, but it seems very sturdy and strong. The only thing I would change is to have another handle half way down the leash. I do like the handle just above where it attaches to the collar for good control of your dog. Bungee is nice and tight with just the right amount of give. I would definitely recommend this leash!
Product arrived on time – very nice packaging you get an extra little bag for all kinds of dog stuff. Leash is a little heavier than I expected but you get used to it and it ‘s definitely sturdy. My dog is a puller so the stretchy leash does take the jolt off my shoulders and I like how easy it is to adjust so that others in the family can pop it in and modify easily- maybe it will encourage them to walk more to too!!!
This is a well-made product, and is a good value. The only complaint that I have is that the tension on the bungee leash is a bit higher than I would like. I have a 25lb dog, and the elastic is so stiff that even if she plants herself and I keep running there is very little give, so the shock absorbing aspect doesn’t work very well. It might work better with a larger dog, though. The higher tension does make me believe that it won’t break easily, though. 🙂
1. to walk/run with better gait
2. so that if my dog wants to run after a squirrel i’m not falling over
the leash has done all those. I would have put 5 stars however within a month and a half of the bungee cord seemed to of snapped. They only have a 30 day return policy so I reached out the the company itself and they sent me a brand new leash! Their reply was super prompt, hoping this next leash doesn’t snap like the last one but if it doesn’t it’s a great leash. Very comfortable to wear and easy to adjust.
I like the design of having two D rings in the front. It will make the plastic buckle last longer (less stress). As welll, if your dogs pulls even the slightest, you are not off balance – as when the D ring is on the side.Also like the elastic bungee cord is thicker than others I have seen.
I would have like to have the leash a bit longer, but more importantly, the second handle of the leash is too close to the dog – If he is pulling, it is harder to get a hold of.
Otherwise, I am pretty happy with the purchase.
The quality is high.
We have a small dog and this leash does a great job holding her.
Feels like it will last a long time.
It’s sturdy and not to mention the great quality but the bungy leash is amazing for my fiesty strong pitbull. It did the work for me. I highly recommend this so far!
Thanks agai
I love it and so does my dog. I find it so practical, so much easier. I just tie it around my waist and have my hands free to hold my coffee, use my phone, etc.. Go anywhere knowing my dog is attached and following me. It really simplified my life. The material is solid, very resistant. The color is as shown. Plus it comes in a little pouch and a seat belt for the car. AMAZING
Great quality leash. The bungee part is much stronger and durable than I would’ve expected, the material is comfortable to hold even with a dog pulling. The shipping and delivery part was very smooth and fast as well. You’ll spend much more in store for a hands free leash of lesser quality. Would recommend this product.
So far so good!
UPDATE: I’ve been running with this leash for the last 3 years and I could not be happier with Sparklypets. I’ve since bought a 2nd hands free leash and also the premium version. I don’t know why I didn’t get the premium version sooner. I thought it only had a Fanny pack upgrade, but no, the clips are higher quality, the traffic control handles are padded with an option to shorten it or convert to a regular leash. The Fanny pack also adds comfort to my back/waist. Running with my dog is the best part of my day, and this leash has helped us explore new places confidently.
I am so happy with this hands free leash with the special buckle design. I use this for running with my medium size dog 5 days a week approximately 4 miles each day. I’ve had two other brands of hands free leash for about 6 months, and their waist buckles broke free twice during a run. Let me say my dog has pretty good leash manner – he is usually behind me or next to me, unless he sees his dog friends. Both times when the buckle snapped it startled my dog so much that he took off running. Thankfully both times it didn’t happen at a busy road or he could have been hit by a car. After the 2nd time I really don’t want to take any more chances. I browsed over so many hands free running leashes and I was sold on this one which has the extra buckle security. I love that it is also reflective. This is a really high quality hands free leash system. I’ve been so happy with it! The only thing that I wish I could change is the weight. It is pretty heavy and the D rings do hit my hip bones when my dog is running on one side. I’ve had this leash for about 2 weeks now and I hope it will last longer than my other hands free leashes.
So far this product is working exactly as advertised and desired. Material seems durable. The product also came quickly which is great because we lost our other leashes.
Revised: When posting my original review, I had no intention of getting a refund. The company Sparkly Pets refunded my card, and today, I just received a replacement. Thank you for standing behind your product. That was extremely nice of you to send me a replacement leash. I look forward to walking my dog later!
